About the type of girl question, when TV casters ask guests about 이상현, a lot of times the answers are comparative to Korean tv/movie/k-pop stars. Instead of going: blond, tall, cute eyes, small chin, long hair, bla bla, they just say the name of the korean celeb that gets closer to their ideal girl, so maybe that's the reason for the internet thing answer.

Oh, and the "I feel sorry for progamers, they don't have a life, they are pathetic losers that will die virgin, bla bla bla" it is getting kind of old.

I feel sorry for exploited kids or guys who are really struggling with life throwing shit at their faces every time they try to stand up and go on.

Progamers? It's something they chose, voluntarily, because they love the game, and I'm sure they are pretty damn happy they made it. And they do something that is socially accepted. It's not something nerdy anymore in Korea. However, keeping up with a site that discuss strategy and players of a video-game in the western culture... well, wouldn't THAT be nerdy?

No hanging out with friends? Every now and then, I read interviews and it seems like going to the movies, playing sports and doing fun stuff other than SC is pretty common, most of the times even mandatory depending on what team you play on.

Girlfriends? Well, some will have gf's, some won't. Like in.... life itself. Even TL.net. I wonder how many of the haters here have gf's. The fact that some guys here make such a big deal of having a gf, like having one makes you finally a winner, makes me wonder. Personally, having a gf has never made me feel cooler than others, not a life-winner or a life-loser. Just happy. I don't go judging others because they have no gf. Guys like Bisu, Nada, Boxer, Savior and such can snap their fingers and be sure that girls will pop out. Guys like TheZerg or Bug-Terran, well, chances are girls will not fall to their feet.

Future? Well, the biggest stars are earning loads of money, and for sure they have a future somewhere linked to the growing eSport industry. The guys who suck and won't get anywhere in SC? Well, it's not like they quit their education(see Flash). And there is life after SC. They can keep studying, and if they are determined and smart, they will make it. Just like in every other thing in life. Especially with the Korean corporation entry level tests, what you have studied doesn't limit you that much.

Oh and let me remind you, you are in a SC forum. You follow the careers of these no-life losers. Lol, you even cheer for them and curse when they lose. So, whatever. And when you mock progaming-nerds, well, just let me remind you these site is supported by a very dedicated staff that invests quite a few hours to make TL.net possible. So indirectly, you are disrespecting their efforts too.

yea the reason there are so many 'lol' or 'keke" is because the interview has been done online.
"ㅎㅎ" is more like smily expression than "lol". When asked their fav girl type, Koreans usually refer to attractive female singers or actresses. And only way progamers can learn about them out of their 12 hr training per day, is through checking photos& interviews of them on internet.
This is why Flash said he can't answer because he hasn't been on the net checking them out.
hope this answers some of your complains. gj mrhoon for translating.

- 프로게이머로 활동하며 가장 힘들었던 순간은
- Hardest moment as a progamer?
▲ 지난 시즌 후반기가 아닌가 싶네요. MSL 4강에 스타리그 8강, 곰티비 준우승, 프로리그 다승왕을 하고 욕먹는 심정 아무도 모를거에여. 데뷔한지 2년도 안되었는데 저에 대한 기대가 커서 좀 부담스러운거 같아요 ㅠㅠ. (김)택용이 형이나 (송)병구 형, (이)제동이 형은 데뷔가 저보다 1년 이상은 빨랐잖아여 ㅎ.
▲ I guess it was probably last season... MSL Semifinals, OSL RO8, GomTV Silver Medal and even with the most proleague wins so many people criticized me and hated me. I doubt people understand that feeling... I haven't even been a progamer for a full 2 years yet people treat me as if I was on the progaming scene like I was here from the start so it is very hard for me ㅠㅠ. Also Bisu Hyung, Stork Hyung and Jaedong Hyung are all debuted 1 year earlier than me.

From all top progamers it seems like Flash has the largest amount of haters. Can someone explain me why is that?

Seriously. Why can't people give him a break. He is still just a kid and had to live with all that hatred directed at him. It would be hard for anyone and definitely must have been very hard for 16 years old kid. I wonder how many of those haters would break after such a pressure as Flash was.

Go to hell Flash-haters!


And I still can't understand sth. From all top progamers it seems like Flash has the largest amount of haters. Can someone explain me why is that?

1. A lot of people dislike his style / find him boring (I'm guessing)
2. A lot of people will always hate the best players. (I remember there were a LOT of Savior haters back in the day when he was raping everyone :>)

KizZBG is right, I used to think Flash was the only one being hated on but for every good progamer who came onto the scene people always criticized them.

When iloveoov first busted into the scene believe it or not majority of the people said "he is boring, I rather watch nada/boxer okay? Hes gay." Now look how many people think about iloveoov, the guy is a fucking legend. When Boxer beat Giyom 3:0 and started rising up the korean communities started saying "cheesy and BM terran, you got lucky." Nobody liked Boxer too except a small amount of people at that time. Same thing applies for Savior. So many people hated savior because he kept kicking off everyone else's favorite players hence the reason why he was marked as the villain. Jaedong wasn't really liked at first too. Zerg fans were angry that 'this' guy was suppose to be their replacement as the new Zerg Leader.

It seems like there are alot of new flash haters because, well there are alot more TL members. Sure there are some stupid reasons to hate flash like "durr he laughs too much" but there has always been a fair share of haters for each player.

edit: Also if you want to be cool you have to hate on flash or nobody will hang out with you.
